Can You Create a GIF with Sound Effects?

No! Sorry! 😞

The GIF format is a simple image format that does not — and will not — support sound in any capacity.

If you need to create an animation with sound, you'll have to make a video instead. Formats like .avi, .mp4, or .webm allow for both visual and audio components. Alternatively, you can cheat a little by setting up a web page where a GIF is played simultaneously with an audio file. However, there is no technical way to embed sound directly into a GIF (or similar formats like APNG or WebP) files.
